Now, before anyone spits back the "this shouldn't be done in multiuser,
and shouldn't be done remotely" speech to me, remember we all have to
sometimes work in not so perfect conditions.

Is it possible for the FreeBSD Makefile jedi to put a kern.securelevel
check into the installworld procedure? I'm fairly sure that if key files
are set as schg, and securelevel as one, causing an installworld to puke
mid-make probably isn't the ideal state to leave a box in, hoping it'll
come back after reboot with securelevel lowered. Some of us forget to
check things occasionally.. *eyes the terminal where ping is running*, I
think I'm ok this time, but doing more in-depth system upgrades might pose
a larger problem if userland and kernel aren't in sync..
